Chapter Text
Sarah sighed into her whiskey, these past few months had been exhausting. The army was in the process of updating the basic training programme for the new conscripts and of course Sarah was in charge of overseeing every aspect of it. The idea was to design the training so as to better prepare the cadets for the type of threat they would face from their current enemy, the Camarilla. The Army had already gathered a great deal of intelligence relating to the tactics the Camerilla were currently using and it had become apparent that the current training was not adequate enough to equip the cadets with the right skills to counter the Camerilla's efforts.
Although the enemy hadn't launched any sort of significant attack in over a year, the intelligence unit was working around the clock to keep tabs on them and it was clear from the reconnaissance being carried out that they were still operating under the radar, laying dormant ready for their next attack. Sarah needed to ensure the Army was ahead of this and that her troops were ready. Her team had used the intelligence they had gathered to develop counter tactics which would need to be rolled out not only to her already trained soldiers but to her newest recruits.
This was of high importance and everyone including the General had been working tirelessly to get the new programme in place which meant she'd had very little time to to herself, to unwind, she had barely even left her office these past few months other than to sleep.
Downing the rest of her whiskey the General decided a leg stretch and some fresh air was in order. She put on her military jacket and headed out the door, she figured a walk around the base would do her some good. It was 11pm so there was very little chance that she would bump into anyone and have her alone time interrupted. She left the administration building with no real destination in mind, walking around the grounds, admiring Fort Salem in all its magnificent glory. The sanctuary that she had built from the ground, despite many of the original structures gone and replaced by newer, more modern ones, even after all these years was a place of beauty, it was her home and she would fight until her last dying breath to protect it and the witches that lived here.
Sarah's thoughts were suddenly interrupted when she noticed a faint light coming from the windows of the gym, there were no classes at this time of night so it should be in darkness like the majority of the other buildings.
Deciding to investigate, she approached the entrance and as she got inside she could hear light grunts and the sound of crashing coming from the combat area, clearly the sounds of somebody training.
She opened the door and stood in the doorway, where she saw a cadet, scourge in hand, moving gracefully around the room striking at the dummies and splitting them in half effortlessly. Sweat was glistening from the girl's chest and forehead, and she was clearly so focused on the task that she hadn't noticed the General had entered. Sarah watched her for a moment, she noted that the cadet was very attractive, with long auburn hair, tied back into a ponytail, her body was slender and toned, from training Sarah presumed, she wore a grey tank top and tight navy blue shorts which definitely did not leave much to the imagination.
The General decided to make the girl aware of her presence, she cleared her throat as she stepped further into the combat room and the cadet's head whipped in her direction. The girl immediately dropped her scourge and stood to attention addressing the General.
"At ease Cadet" Sarah said approaching the redheaded girl who relaxed at the words.
"It's quite a late hour to be training here all alone, and if I'm not mistaken past curfew for cadets." Sarah said raising an eyebrow at the girl who suddenly looked terrified. "G-general, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break curfew I just got carried away and I..." the girl said looking down at the floor not daring to meet the General's gaze.
"What's your name cadet?" Sarah asked. "Craven ma'am, Tally Craven." She replied looking up at the General. The brunette recognised the name, the cadet was a first year war college student in the Sekhmet covern. "I take it your Covern leader is not aware of your late night activity?" She asked, enjoying the way she was making the girl squirm. "No ma'am." Tally said, shaking her head.
"Tell me Craven, why is it that the rest of your covern are keeping curfew and you are out here breaking it?" Sarah asked, holding back a smirk at the way the girl visibly gulped at the question. " I um..just lost track of time Ma'am, I came here to work on my technique as combat has never been my strongest suit and I want to be better." Tally told her honestly, returning her gaze to the floor.
Sarah studied her for a moment, she was even more attractive up close and she couldn't help where her thoughts were suddenly going, it had been a long time since she had taken care of certain 'needs', too long in fact. Sarah had always had a very high sex drive and had taken many lovers throughout her years, she particularly enjoyed the selection of young cadets she had on occasion indulged herself with. They were always so eager to please her and it was easy to get what she needed from them.
Sarah bit her lip at the thought of what she would do to this Gorgeous redhead in front of her given the opportunity.
Shaking herself out of her thoughts she decided to put the girl out of her misery.
"Very well Craven, I will not write you up for this violation, since your reasons for doing so are of benefit to the Army, however if you are indeed struggling with combat then I'd like you to report back here tomorrow at 2100hrs for a training session with me." Tally's head shot up at the General's words, ' she is offering to train me instead of writing me up for breaking curfew, the head of the US army is offering to train me.' she found herself suddenly confused at this and apparently lost for words.
"Craven, did you hear what I said?" The General said loudly, startling Tally out of her reverie. "Um, yes ma'am be here at 2100hrs tomorrow for training with you." Tally said quickly, blushing slightly at the words 'with you'.
Tally had always had a huge crush on General Alder, the woman was a goddess and despite her mother's protests and the dispensation she had been given Tally knew she was always going to answer the call and the General was the very reason for that, the sacrifices she had made for all of witchkind were awe-inspiring and Tally felt compelled to be part of this and give her service.
"Good, dismissed Craven." The General said firmly.
"Yes ma'am, Thank you General." Tally said before turning on her heel to leave. Just as she was about to exit the combat room the General shouted "Oh and Craven, this is a private session so I'd appreciate it if it was kept between us only"
Tally stopped in her tracks and turned to face her "Yes General, of course." She said. Sarah gave her a nod and tally took that as her cue to leave the gym, the General watched her, raking her eyes over the girl's profile as she exited the room.
She was going to have fun with this one.
~~~~~~
The next day went by agonizingly slow, Tally was excited but also apprehensive about her training session with the General. Her face flushed at the thought of getting hot and sweaty with the older woman. ' No, she needed to get these thoughts in check, she could not be seen ogling the General of the US army whilst she was training her, no matter how incredibly hot she was.' She thought.Tally had not yet mastered the art of subtlety when she was attracted to someone so the General would most definitely notice if she let her eyes roam. She took a deep breath, 'No she would be professional and keep her eyes to herself. Tally resolved.
After classes the redhead had dinner with Abs and Rae, she adored her sisters, despite the fact they spent the whole of dinner bickering about Goddess knows what, Tally hadn't really been paying attention, too consumed by thoughts of her training session with General Alder in a couple of hours.
As 9pm approached, Tally told her sisters, she was heading to the gym, to work on her combat skills, which she often did, she of course left out the part that she was going to be working on them with the head of the US army, as per the General's request. Abs and Rae didn't pay much mind to this as it was not out of the ordinary for her to go to the gym at night, they both knew Tally struggled with her combat skills and understood the girl's desire to improve them.
Sarah arrived at the gym for her training session with Craven at 2045hrs, wanting to get there before the younger witch did. She genuinely did want to help the cadet with her combat technique but she couldn't deny that she also had ulterior motives. The girl was gorgeous and very obedient, it probably wouldn't take much to seduce her. The way Craven had looked at her last night with those doe eyes made Sarah think the girl was already a little bit smitten with her.
Sarah was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of the door to the combat room opening. She looked up as Tally walked in, stood to attention and addressed her.
"At ease Craven" she said and the redhead relaxed before walking over to the mats where Sarah was standing.
Sarah looked over the girl, she had her hair tied back in a ponytail and wore a tight fit light grey Army issued t-shirt and grey sweat pants that hugged her in all the right places. Sarah licked her lips at the sight.
"Are you ready to be put through your paces tonight Craven?" She asked her with a grin. The General had her hair tied up in her usual braid and also wore a tight fitted, army issued t-shirt but in navy blue and grey sweatpants. Tally's eyes were instantly drawn to her muscular arms, she had never seen the General in gym wear before and she was definitely not disappointed. She wondered how she was going survive this session with this gorgeous woman in such close proximity. Tally looked up and saw that the older woman was staring at her with a slight smirk on her face and suddenly realised she hadn't answered the General's question. "Oh, um yes ma'am I am more than ready for you...to put me through my paces." She said, cringing at the obvious pause in her sentence.
Sarah's smirk increased and she raised an eyebrow at the younger woman.
"Shall we get started then?" She asked.
Tally nodded, the blush on her face definitely not going unnoticed.
Sarah got into her fighting stance, scourge in hand and Tally mirrored her position. "Whenever you're ready cadet." She said with a grin.
Tally swallowed nervously and gripped her scourge, she began circling the General waiting for her moment, after a few seconds she lunged forward, striking towards the older woman, who expertly dodged the blow, she moved her body and threw several more strikes, none of which connected as the General was far too quick and skilled. Wiping her brow, she circled again, waiting for the brunette to attack, when that didn't happen, Tally threw another strike with her scourge, Sarah side stepped quickly, countering the attack with her own, wrapping her scourge around Tally's wrist. Before the redhead had realised what was happening she pulled the rope, causing the younger woman to stumble forward. Sarah took advantage of her being off balance and dropped her body into a leg sweep, knocking Tally off her feet and onto the mat with a thud. The General stood over her. "Good effort Cadet." She said holding her hand out for her to take. Tally reached for the outstretched hand and Sarah pulled her back up to her feet. The redhead's breath hitched slightly at how close they were now suddenly standing. Sarah looked at her directly in the eyes and Tally could do nothing but stare back. The General bit her lip slightly before moving her gaze down to the redheads lips for a brief moment before bringing them back up. Tally subconsciously licked her lips, and waited, her mouth slightly agape.
Sarah suddenly stepped back with a grin "Again" she said motioning for Tally to position herself on the mat.
The younger woman shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. Had she just imagined that moment between them? She wondered.
Getting herself into her fighting stance, they went again for several more rounds, with the General providing pointers and coaching tips along the way to help Tally improve her technique.
On the last round the General suggested they ditch their scourages for a bit of hand to hand combat. They Began circling each other on the mats, both looking for a moment to strike. Tally was the first to lunge forward, throwing several blows at the General who again dodged and blocked each one. She circled again and threw a punch towards the older witch. Sarah slipped the blow and rolled under the redhead's arm with ease, in one quick, fluid motion she took hold of the girl's wrist and arm, twisting it backwards and dropped her own body, rotating herself around, taking Tally to the floor and into a ground pin. The redhead's eyes went wide as she was pinned to the floor on her front, unable to move, completely at the General's mercy. Sarah grinned at her victory before slowly releasing her hold. Tally rolled onto her back and stared up at the older woman who was kneeling beside her. 'This woman is incredible.' She thought. As Sarah went to stand, the redhead saw an opportunity and lunged forward in an attempt to tackle the General. Realising what was happening, the brunette quickly shifted her body and managed to roll them over so that she was now straddling Tally's hips, she pinned the girl's wrists above her head and used her full body weight to keep her pressed firmly to the mat. The General glared down at the cadet who swallowed nervously. After a few seconds Sarah's gaze softened and Tally relaxed a bit. "Quite the predicament you have yourself in here Craven." She said with a raised eyebrow. Tally looked down her body at where the General's strong legs were straddling her waist and then quickly back up to meet the older woman's gaze. Sarah swore she heard a slight whimper escape the girl. The two women stared at each other for a few seconds until Sarah slowly moved her face closer to Tally's, stopping mere inches from her. Tally's breath hitched in her throat at what was about to happen. The General searched the redhead's face for any signs that she was uncomfortable, finding none she closed the gap between them, capturing Tally's lips with her own, feeling the younger woman immediately return the kiss. Releasing the redhead's wrists, Sarah purposely scraped her nails down her arms, causing the girl to moan slightly at the sensation. She deepened the kiss, and brought her hand up to Tally's breast and slowly started circling her fingers over her nipple through her t-shirt. Sarah felt the bud harden under her touch, and Tally instinctively arched her hips upwards towards the General. Sarah grinned at this and repositioned herself so that her thigh was now pressing between the redhead's legs. Tally wasted no time in pushing herself into the General's leg, trying to find some kind of release. Sarah slowly moved her hand down Tally's body stopping at her waistband. "Is this ok?" She asked. The redhead nodded and the older woman slipped her hand into the girl's sweatpants. She removed her thigh from between her legs and replaced it with her hand, slowly circling her fingers on Tally's centre over her underwear. The younger woman closed her eyes and whimpered at the touch. Sarah purposely kept the contact light to tease the girl. After a few minutes the redhead began arching her hips into the General's hand, desperately trying to increase the pressure. Sarah grinned, enjoying the torture she was clearly inflicting on her. Tally opened her eyes, and looked at the older woman, silently pleading with her to put her out of her misery. Picking up on this, the General raised her eyebrow at the girl. "Tell me what you need Craven." She said almost seductively.
Tally whimpered again, 'Was the General really going to make her beg for it?' She thought.
Sarah stopped her hand and stared down at the redhead, with a raised eyebrow.
Tally pouted slightly at the loss. "I-I need you to touch me...please General." Tally managed.
Sarah smirked "tsk, you're going to have to do better than that Cadet, tell me how you want me to touch you." She replied.
Tally paused, she had never had to ask for this before, she stared up at the General with doe eyes, hoping the older woman would show her mercy. Sarah bit her bottom lip and went to remove her hand from Tally's sweatpants. "No! General.. please, I need...I need your fingers inside me." The girl pleaded. Sarah grinned before sliding her hand into Tally's panties. The redhead gasped as Sarah began circling her clit. "Already so wet for me cadet." She smirked. Tally blushed furiously at this, but didn't have time to respond before the General slipped a finger inside her, causing the redhead to gasp at the sudden intrusion. Tally moaned as Sarah added a second finger, curling them inside her. She picked up the pace, thrusting her fingers expertly inside of the younger woman causing the girl's breathing to become ragged.
The redhead started bucking her hips, matching Sarah's pace, desperate for release. Sensing that the young cadet was close she pushed hard against her G-spot. "Come for me Craven" the General commanded. "Yes.. ma'am" Tally replied through ragged breaths. Sarah increased the pace further, sending the redhead over the edge. Tally came hard, her loud moans echoing in the gym as Sarah continued to pulse her fingers inside her, allowing her to ride out her orgasm. As the redhead started to come down, the General slowed her movements before removing her fingers. Tally was panting hard on the mat, her eyes closed.
Sarah smirked before shifting her weight and rising to her feet.
"That's the end of tonight's session Craven, you are dismissed." The older woman said, returning to General mode.
Tally blinked, confused at the sudden dismissal. "Y-yes General." She said, climbing to her feet. The redhead crossed the room to collect her water bottle and turned to leave.
As she was about to walk out of the door the General grasped her arm, gently turning the younger woman to face her. "I trust that I do not need to remind you that tonight's activities are to stay between us?" Sarah said.
"No ma'am, I will not discuss this with anyone." The redhead told her. The General smiled and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. "Until next time then cadet." She said.
Tally smiled back at her before turning and leaving the gym.
